BRYANT – With record-breaking heat in central Arkansas and a 101-degree game-time temperature, which actually felt like 104, the Bryant Sport Shop Black Sox hosted Little Rock Blue on Thursday and came away with a 6-2 victory at Bryant High School.
Three restaurants in Saline County recently were cited for failing an alcohol compliance check, authorities said.
The undercover compliance check of restaurants was made by the Benton Special Investigation Unit, which is comprised of officers from the Benton and Bryant police departments. Authorities said the checks were made to ensure local establishments are not serving alcohol to minors.
Possible naming rights for the Benton events center and advertising and promotion tax collections were addressed Thursday afternoon in a meeting of the Benton A & P Commission.
Commission Chairman Mark Fikes told the council that the events center project is ahead of schedule.
The commission recently approved an initial site plan and conceptual drawing of the center. A groundbreaking ceremony for the project is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. July 3 at the Hickory Square Shopping Center site.
Robert Edwards has been named interim director of the Benton Parks and Recreation Department.
Mayor David Mattingly announced Edwards' appointment late Monday at a Benton City Council meeting.
Mattingly said he had selected Edwards to serve in this position and that he expressed appreciation to Edwards for the willingness to serve the city in this manner.
Edwards, in turn, expressed appreciation to the mayor for the confidence placed in him and said it was his pleasure to serve Benton residents.
Edwards is retired from the Federal Aviation Administration.
When Easton Lee Martin was born June 22 at Saline Memorial Hospital, he was following a family tradition.
Easton's mother, Melanie Martin, was born at Saline Memorial in 1984, and both of her parents also had started life inside the Benton hospital.
Martin's mother, Vicki Steele, was born at the hospital in December of 1957, and the birth of her father, Jeff Steele, occurred there in September of 1958.
The family's connection to the hospital goes even deeper.
As strange as it may sound to some Saline County residents, the level of ozone readings this summer poses a real threat to the local community.
Saline County's burn ban means that the individual use of fireworks is prohibited anywhere in the county, according to a spokesperson for County Judge Lanny Fite.
In Benton, vendors may not sell fireworks during this period, but their sale is still allowed in the county for now, Fite said.
"The county ban doesn't prohibit the sale of fireworks, but it does prohibit the discharge unless a permit has been issued by the Office of Emergency Management," the county spokesperson said.
Saline County is among 52 in the state that have outlawed fireworks during the hot, dry weather.
BENTON – It didn't look very promising for the Benton McClendon's after the first inning of their game against Little Rock Blue on Tuesday night, but the McClendon's came away with a 7-5 win at Bill Perry Field in Bernard Holland Park after their slow start.
Local law enforcement officers will put down their badges, guns and Tasers late Thursday to don aprons and street clothes while holding drink trays, all in the name of a good cause during the annual Tip-A-Cop.
The event will be held from 4 to 10 p.m. at Colton's Steakhouse in Benton and 100 percent of the proceeds benefit Special Olympics of Arkansas. Colton's is at 1929 Landers Drive, just off Interstate 30 and past the Walmart Supercenter.
The Independence Day celebration will come a few days early in Haskell and will include a large fireworks display to end the evening festivities.
The free event — including parking and admission — is scheduled from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday at the Arkansas Health Center, located at 6701 U.S. Highway 67. From Interstate 30, take the Exit 114, drive past the Big Red Valero gas station and head straight past the first traffic light until reaching the sign for the Arkansas Health Center on the left.

Sparks--and Laughs--Start to Fly When Rural Vermont Meets Urban New York
Marlboro, VT—Windy Acres, a new comedy series from Vermont Public Television and director Jay Craven, is a hilarious and heartwarming send-up of what happens when rural Vermont meets urban New York. On November 8 and 15, the American screening premiere of the seven-episode series, with an introduction from Craven, will be shown at 7:30 in Whittemore Theatre at Marlboro College.
Windy Acres's heroine Stephanie Burns (Seana Kofoed, Third Watch), New York marketing ace, loses her job at an upscale children's clothing company during a downsizing move. When she discovers a Website for agricultural tourism, she impulsively stuffs her two daughters in a borrowed car and sets out for pastoral Vermont. Once in the Green Mountain State, she meets love-starved, hardscrabble dairy farmer Lucien LaFlamme (Rusty DeWees, The Logger, A Stranger in the Kingdom) and sparks start to fly—especially when Lucien refuses to have anything to do with a bed and breakfast tourist scheme hatched by his uncle and Stephanie.
Not surprisingly, the B and B isn't as "quaint" as advertised on the Internet. In fact, when Stephanie's 17-year-old daughter sees it, she refuses to get out of the car. Then Stephanie's ornery daughter falls for the local mechanic, and Stephanie's 10-year-old daughter finds her own heartthrob in Lucien's nephew. Everything that could possibly go wrong does in this unconventional romantic comedy, with a quirky but endearing cast; Tantoo Cardinal, (Dances with Wolves, Where the Rivers Flow North) Bill Raymond (Where the Rivers Flow North, 12 Monkeys), Ariel Kiley, (The Sopranos, Law and Order) Felicia Hammer, Charlie McDermott, Stivi Paskoski and Abby Paige.
Craven, Marlboro College professor of film studies, has directed three films: Where the Rivers Flow North, A Stranger in the Kingdom and The Year That Trembled. This is Craven's first television series. Drawn to filmmaking for "writing and being able to work with actors," he was delighted to find that television enabled him to focus almost exclusively on these aspects.Television "is faster and lighter…not so indelible" as film, says Craven. In the future, he would enjoy doing a television series every year, and has left the possibility open for a second season of Windy Acres.
Ten Marlboro students and recent graduates worked as the film crew and production team for the series along with those from the University of Vermont, Burlington, Middlebury, Champlain, Smith, Bard and Pratt colleges and Wesleyan University. Craven enjoys working with students, and has directed teenagers over the past 9 years as part of the Fledgling Films Summer Institute he developed in 1997.
The series, a culmination of a five-year effort, is an important step in the production of local television. "We hope that Windy Acres will help us lay the groundwork for more regional television," said Craven. "It will give local audiences the powerful experience of seeing their own culture and lifestyle captured on the small screen." Windy Acres will be available on video on November 14th.This event is part of Marlboro College's "Serious Fun" series, and is free and open to the public. For more information contact Elena Sharnoff, Marlboro College Public Affairs Officer, at (802) 251-7644.

Very convenient – I bought the Living Social deal for partial highlights, cut and style as several other readers have mentioned. I work nearby and have driven past this little salon several times, and thought it looked cute. As such, I figured I'd give it a chance...
The salon is small and boutiquey. It's a cute little place and gives you that small, personal feel. They have a very nice environment and amenities (like massage chairs, etc).
The staff was friendly and professional. They obviously enjoy their jobs and were delightful to me without being too personal as I am a bit of a quiet person and sometimes can't really handle talking with a stylist for an hour + of my time.
My experience was terrific. I treat myself to a "real" cut/style every other time I get my hair done because it's so long and thick that the prices add up fast. So, I figured it couldn't hurt to try out. My stylist Nasy was fantastic.
I went in with a general idea that I wanted to keep the length, add some layers and body and maybe add some long bangs... my stylist hit it right on. I enjoy going to a salon where I don't have to come in with a photo but that they know what is in-style and what will look good on me and can talk through their idea. My hair looks AMAZING. It's the best cut I have ever gotten. She listened to me when I said I like the length and for the first time in my life I didn't leave a salon upset about how much they cut. Secondly, the layers are perfect and look amazing.
As for the highlights... I am completely thrilled! I have blond hair that has slowly been getting darker, and coming out of the winter it looked a bit dull, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I was able to upgrade to full highlights, which I am a much bigger fan of - especially given how thick my hair is. Nasy (my stylist) was VERY thorough. It took a while to get them all set up, but the fact that she was so thorough was something that impressed me given that I was using a discount coupon. They look great. She knew exactly what I was looking for and didn't go too blond so it looks really good.
I would definitely go back in the future, but will probably have to stick to my every other cut schedule because the prices are still a little high.
On a side note, it's awesome that they take credit card (though you can't tip on it) and there is ample parking on the street so that is very convenient.
I bought the Groupon deal for a haircut and partial highlights and had a morning appointment on the weekend. My stylist, Trepka, greeted me immediately and was quite helpful when I told her I have never had my hair colored in any way before. She brought out the color swatches and I chose copper mahogany highlights. She took her time doing them and I am very pleased with the result. My medium brown hair has darker highlights and a lot of shine to it now. The massage chairs that you sit in to get your hair washed are a really nice perk. I rarely get much hair cut off because I am attached to it but I trusted Trepka and she took off about 2 inches and she did a great job layering it in the front and giving it a razored look like I requested. I would say this is the best hair cut I have gotten and I appreciate the time she took to blow dry it completely straight. I will come back here for highlights in the summer!

Features: One red and one black 48" PVC flexible jacketed lead Sheathed right angle DMM plugs 0.08" (2mm) diameter contact tips Meets 1000V Cat III requirements 10A rating Includes slide-on alligator clip adaptors
The leads are very good. Don't see how the alligator clips attach to the probes. Good ones usually screw on.
Decent quality, plugged right into my Fluke 75. I wish the metal probe tip were a bit longer, but it works fine.
I needed a set of inexpensive, yet tough test leads with alligator clips for hands-free monitoring. Yeah, I know, 'quality' and 'inexpensive' don't normally share the same bed. However, I thought I'd give these test leads a try. Simply put, they exceeded my expectations and I am not an easy person to please (ask my kids). Even if I could afford higher end models, I would still keep a set or two of these around.
I like the overall look and feel of the leads, especially the silicone construction, which should prove to be more durable than the hard plastic of past conventional test leads. I also greatly like the slide-on alligator clips, which make taking voltage measurements a lot easier. Overall, I'm very satisfied with them.
Perfect replaceement for a damaged/lost set. Works on most DVM's.

Airdrie stopped by late Spence strike
Greig Spence's 90th-minute equaliser earned 10-man Raith Rovers a William Hill Scottish Cup first round replay against Airdrie following a 2-2 draw.
Raith had the lead in the 13th minute as Brian Graham's header was volleyed home by Simon Mensing from just inside the area.
But Airdrie were level 15 minutes later as Gavin Griffin hit a firm shot from the left of the area which Ross Laidlaw could not get down to.
Graham was then given his marching orders for an off the ball incident just after the re-start but Spence continued to be a major threat as he flashed another shot over the goal and then hit the bar from a corner.
Jason Thomson turned a cross into his goal to give Airdrie the lead but the visitors equalised at the death as Spence converted Grant Anderson's cross.

NewsMusicians Pay Tribute to
Vermont Folk Legend
Friends and family members will be featured in a tribute concert for Margaret MacArthur, Vermont's best known and most accomplished folksinger, on Tuesday March 20th at Marlboro College's Whittemore Theater on the Marlboro campus. The concert starts at 7:30pm (doors will open no later than 6:30pm). General admission tickets are $25. Tickets for the concert at Marlboro College are available through the Flynn Regional Box Office (802-863-5966 or www.flynntix.org) or at Mapleleaf Music in Brattleboro.
Performers will include the MacArthur Family (Margaret's children Megan, Dan and Gary), the Boys of the Lough, Gordon Bok, John Roberts and Tony Barrand, Karen and Pete Sutherland, Dan Berggren, Deb Flanders and some surprise guests. Bill Spence from the Old Songs Festival will emcee. Special guests will include Jane Beck from the Vermont Folklife Center, Marlboro's president Ellen McCulloch-Lovell and others. Everyone appearing at the concert has a long history and significant connections to Margaret and the music she collected and made.
Margaret passed away on May 23, 2006. She grew up hearing traditional music, first in the mountains of northern Arizona where her forester step-father was cruising timber for the Forest Service in the Tonto National Forest, later in southern Missouri where he was raising seedlings for the Mark Twain National Forest, then in Southern California where he was raising guayule rubber plants during the war.
After marrying John MacArthur, she moved to Vermont in 1948. She began collecting songs both in Vermont and in western Kentucky where her parents had settled. Living in the 200 year old farmhouse in Marlboro furthered her interest in old ways and old songs. After meeting Helen Hartness Flanders, she became closely connected to the Flanders Collection of Vermont and New England material. In 1962 Moe Asch of Folkways issued her first recording, Folksongs of Vermont. Since then she has recorded ten albums, some of which feature songs of Arizona, where she was an artist in residence in schools for many winters..
She toured nationally and internationally, and was featured at many festivals, including Inverness, University of Chicago, Mariposa, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Old Songs, Champlain, Eistedfod at University of Southern Massachusetts, Louisville, Fox Hollow, Southern Acoustic Music, and Pine Mountain, Cranberry, Black Swamp, and Memphis Dulcimer Festivals
The Vermont Arts Council, in 2002, gave her an Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. Yankee Magazine, July/August 2001, selected her CD Vermont Ballads & Broadsides as one of the Yankee Top 40 of all time. On Vermont Day May 1, 1997, at the invitation of Senator James Jeffords, Margaret MacArthur performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. In 1988 she received a commendation from the American Association of State and Local History, an honor from the California Traditional Music Society, and the Eistedfod Award from the University of Southern Massachusetts, North Dartmouth. The 1985 University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Art Biennial Committee named her a 'New England Living Art Treasure.' She received the Midsummer Festival Award in Montpelier,Vermont, in 1984, and a Citation of Recognition from the Vermont Council of the Arts in 1973.
The concert is a co-presentation by the Events for Tom Series and the Vermont Folklife Center with support from Marlboro College.
All proceeds will support the Margaret MacArthur Collection at the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury, Vermont. Following her death and at the request of the MacArthur family, to honor Margaret's memory, the Margaret MacArthur Collection Fund was established. The Fund was created to achieve the following goals: 1) To support the preservation of the Margaret MacArthur Collection held by the Vermont Folklife Center Archive; 2) To expand the Collection through future, relevant acquisitions; and 3) To perpetuate Margaret's work with traditional songs and music in Vermont. The collection consists of 16 open reel audiotapes of traditional songs and interviews with singers recorded by Margaret primarily in southwestern Vermont from 1963 through 1968; commercial recordings made by Margaret and her family on vinyl LP and compact disc; and related papers, photographs and ephemera. The Fund is used to stabilize, catalog and provide access to items in the Margaret MacArthur collection; provide a source of funding to purchase additional related materials as they become available; and to support additional research and public programming into traditional music in Vermont.
The concerts are the 61st and 62nd presentations in the Events for Tom Series. For information about the Events for Tom Series or the Tom Sustic Fund, contact Mark Sustic at 802-849-6968 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

An institution is any structure or mechanism of social order governing the behaviour of a set of individuals within a given community; may it be human or a specific animal one. Institutions are identified with a social purpose, transcending individuals and intentions by mediating the rules that govern living behavior.[1]
The term "institution" is commonly applied to customs and behavior patterns important to a society, as well as to particular formal organizations of government and public services. As structures and mechanisms of social order among certain species, institutions are one of the principal objects of study in the social sciences, such as political science, anthropology, economics, and sociology (the latter being described by Durkheim as the "science of institutions, their genesis and their functioning").[2] Institutions are also a central concern for law, the formal mechanism for political rule-making and enforcement.
Examples of Institutions[edit]

- Language (See also: Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Sociology of language)
- The nation-state - Social and political scientists often speak of the state as embodying all institutions such as schools, prisons, and so on. However, these institutions may be considered private or autonomous, whilst organised religion and family life certainly pre-date the advent of the nation state. In the Neo-Marxist thought of Antonio Gramsci, for instance, a distinction may be felt between the institutions of political society (the police, the army, legal system, etc.) which dominates directly and coercively, and civil society (the family, the education system, etc.)n Schenck v. United States, what circumstance made this speech case special
- In some circumstances, individuals can be considered institutions if they are responsible for creating motifs or worldwide phenomena. Examples of this include Stanley Kubrick, Nelson Mandela, and Gandhi.
Aspects of institutions[edit]
Although individual, formal organizations, commonly identified as "institutions," may be deliberately and intentionally created by people, the development and function of institutions in society in general may be regarded as an instance of emergence; that is, institutions arise, develop and function in a pattern of social self-organization, which goes beyond the conscious intentions of the individual humans involved.
As mechanisms of social interaction, institutions manifest in both formal organizations, such as the U.S. Congress, or the Roman Catholic Church, and, also, in informal social order and organization, reflecting human psychology, culture, habits and customs, and encompassing subjective experience of meaningful enactments. Most important institutions, considered abstractly, have both objective and subjective aspects: examples include money and marriage. The institution of money encompasses many formal organizations, including banks and government treasury departments and stock exchanges, which may be termed, "institutions," as well as subjective experiences, which guide people in their pursuit of personal well-being. Powerful institutions are able to imbue a paper currency with certain value, and to induce millions into production and trade in pursuit of economic ends abstractly denominated in that currency's units.[citation needed] The subjective experience of money is so pervasive and persuasive that economists talk of the "money illusion" and try to disabuse their students of it, in preparation for learning economic analysis.[citation needed]
While institutions tend to appear to people in society as part of the natural, unchanging landscape of their lives, study of institutions by the social sciences tends to reveal the nature of institutions as social constructions, artifacts of a particular time, culture and society, produced by collective human choice, though not directly by individual intention. Sociology traditionally analyzed social institutions in terms of interlocking social roles and expectations. Social institutions created and were composed of groups of roles, or expected behaviors. The social function of the institution was executed by the fulfillment of roles. Basic biological requirements, for reproduction and care of the young, are served by the institutions of marriage and family, for example, by creating, elaborating and prescribing the behaviors expected for husband/father, wife/mother, child, etc.
The relationship of institutions to human nature is a foundational question for the social sciences. Institutions can be seen as "naturally" arising from, and conforming to, human nature—a fundamentally conservative view—or institutions can be seen as artificial, almost accidental, and in need of architectural redesign, informed by expert social analysis, to better serve human needs—a fundamentally progressive view. Adam Smith anchored his economics in the supposed human "propensity to truck, barter and exchange". Modern feminists have criticized traditional marriage and other institutions as element of an oppressive and obsolete patriarchy. The Marxist view which sees human nature as historically 'evolving' towards voluntary social cooperation, shared by some anarchists, is that supraindividual institutions such as the market and the state are incompatible with the individual liberty which would obtain in a truly free society.
Economics, in recent years, has used game theory to study institutions from two perspectives. Firstly, how do institutions survive and evolve? In this perspective, institutions arise from Nash equilibria of games. For example, whenever people pass each other in a corridor or thoroughfare, there is a need for customs, which avoid collisions. Such a custom might call for each party to keep to their own right (or left—such a choice is arbitrary, it is only necessary that the choice be uniform and consistent). Such customs may be supposed to be the origin of rules, such as the rule, adopted in many countries, which requires driving automobiles on the right side of the road.
Secondly, how do institutions affect behaviour? In this perspective, the focus is on behaviour arising from a given set of institutional rules. In these models, institutions determine the rules (i.e. strategy sets and utility functions) of games, rather than arise as equilibria out of games. For example, the Cournot duopoly model is based on an institution involving an auctioneer who sells all goods at the market-clearing price. While it is always possible to analyse behaviour with the institutions-as-equilibria approach instead, it is much more complicated.
In political science, the effect of institutions on behavior has also been considered from a meme perspective, like game theory borrowed from biology. A "memetic institutionalism" has been proposed, suggesting that institutions provide selection environments for political action, whereby differentiated retention arises and thereby a Darwinian evolution of institutions over time. Public choice theory, another branch of economics with a close relationship to political science, considers how government policy choices are made, and seeks to determine what the policy outputs are likely to be, given a particular political decision-making process and context.
In history, a distinction between eras or periods, implies a major and fundamental change in the system of institutions governing a society. Political and military events are judged to be of historical significance to the extent that they are associated with changes in institutions. In European history, particular significance is attached to the long transition from the feudal institutions of the Middle Ages to the modern institutions, which govern contemporary life.
The term "institutionalization" is widely used in social theory to refer to the process of embedding something (for example a concept, a social role, a particular value or mode of behavior) within an organization, social system, or society as a whole. The term may also be used to refer to committing a particular individual to an institution, such as a mental institution. To this extent, "institutionalization" may carry negative connotations regarding the treatment of, and damage caused to, vulnerable human beings by the oppressive or corrupt application of inflexible systems of social, medical, or legal controls by publicly owned, private or not-for-profit organizations.
The term "institutionalization" may also be used in a political sense to apply to the creation or organization of governmental institutions or particular bodies responsible for overseeing or implementing policy, for example in welfare or development.

Arizona Senator & Alaskan Princess will defile
As Governor Palin has explicitly announced, "the gloves are off." They certainly are. Behind in the polls, McCain and Palin now plan a below-the-belt, bigoted, lie-filled attack on Barack Obama. There are no dignity, stature, or honesty left in the ammunition of the right-wing to be fired from now until election day.
"The most striking contradiction of our civilization is the fundamental reverence for truth which we profess and the thoroughgoing disregard for it which we practice." -Vilhjalmur Stefansson [And in America we further try to cloak it in doing what is best for the "common man" when those most vehemently defending Joe Sixpack have 7 or 8 homes, millions in assets, and are totally out of touch with the voter]
McCain's Sleazy Reference to Obama: "that one"
When Senator John McCain pointed to Barack Obama derisively and said, "that one," what did he mean? In the recent debate, McCain's well-known temper got the best of him ...again. But this was more than a slip of the tongue, it was an insight into John McCain's deepest demons. Just what did McCain mean? What slipped out? Who would insensitively make such a reference toward another human being? How much hatred does McCain harbor for Obama? Is the hatred so deep that he would slip to making racial references? Does McCain consider himself above Obama? Does McCain know how much historical bigotry is tied up in that sort of human reference? And yes, it is fair to ask: is McCain a bigot?
John McCain scares the heck out of me. He has loaded up his campaign team with some of the most obvious special interest promoters in America [i.e. Phil Gramm]. He has done the bidding of the oil, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. He has proposed giving MORE tax breaks to the richest people in the U.S., those who are not suffering today as the average American is. He has offered a campaign promise to give oil corporations more benefits. He has played to the extreme right-wing of his party. He selected a running mate who has no national or international experience, and a woman whom he met on one or two occasions. Though waving his military experience every chance he gets, he voted AGAINST veterans benefit packages in the Senate. He was dead wrong on invading Iraq, a sovereign nation that had nothing to do with 9-11 and distracting us from catching Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan [where we had him surrounded and at our mercy in Bora Bora]. His proposals for the future will drive us trillions of MORE dollars into debt. John McCain is a lackey for the same powers that pull the strings for George W. Bush. McCain actually supports Bush's policies. John McCain did the bidding in the Senate for the leaders of the savings and loan scandal. John McCain does not know how many houses he owns. And yes, to you Christian fundamentalist Bible-thumpers, John McCain is divorced.
Right-wingers again bring 1929 disaster
When will we ever learn? After a disastarous reign of Republican, right-wing presidents in the 1920s, the stock market and the rest of the U.S. economy collapsed in a heap. A liberal Democrat had to rescue America and right the ship. FDR actually saved American capitalism. So please do not attack this historical fact: a liberal Democrat in the White House saved capitalism for the United States. The corporate right-wing had selfishly ravaged everything they could from the common man in the U.S. They not only bled the average American of everything, they almost brought down the very economic system they championed. We learned that capitalism must have restraints and regulations or it will rape everything in its path. After World War II, the other capitalistic nations in Europe learned this lesson and have all established social democracies. Right-wingers try to label them socialistic. And these same right-wingers go ballistic when we in turn label corporate capitalism, fascistic. But it was a group of American capitalists who helped finance Hitler to power in Germany, and Mussolini in Italy.
Now to our current economic dilemma. Regulation after regulation has been stripped from the American economy. Corporate America has had its way, especially since Ronald Reagan. Reagan, like the current president, was not of high aptitude, to say the least. And his political success was the result of surrendering economic, moral, and ethical principles to the right-wing, corporate behemoths. They gave him money. They gave him access to the populace. They helped him to forge a story to tell Americans about the wonders of capitalism, especially corporate unfettered capitalism. "Trickle-down" was a favorite myth. But their policies ultimately trickled up. You are now left holding the bag, including the first installment on your taxes: a 700-billion-dollar DEBT. More will be needed. They have used their greed as a shovel to dig you deep into a hole.
The recent John McCain town hall meetings in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and elsewhere had American citizens from the right-wing stand up and not only ask questions about Barack Obama, but make the most violent and dangerous charges like he should be killed, he is a Arab, he is a Moslem, etc. Are you ashamed to be an American? Are you ashamed of some of your fellow Americans? You should be.
From the moment Obama received the nomination for president at the Democratic Party convention, a cold chill went up my spine. I knew there are people in America who harbor so much bigotry or so much "religious" zealotry that they could be moved to make an assassination try on Obama if things did not go according to right-wing preferences. Yikes!
Will we finally learn from this economic disaster, or are we going to have to go through this again in the years ahead? You have been fleeced by runaway capitalism in the U.S. And now you have been called upon to "save" the capitalists who stole from you and now want you to be their savior. Here is what American capitalism wants from you:
No regulations on capitalism's profits, use the general populace's taxes to pay for capitalism's losses. What a deal!
"If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank." -Woody Allen
"What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is....It rejects inquiry into race questions or socialized medicine, or public housing...regards as heinous any challenge to what is called 'the system of private enterprise,' identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete." -Henry Steele Commager
Since the Reagan administration, the image of the U.S. in the world has deteriorated substantially. Why? Corporations now rule the White House, and Democrat Bill Clinton also has plenty of this dirt on his hands. But the neocons since Reagan have taken it to new heights. We are losing what we love about the United States of America. John McCain, a staunch supporter of the military-industrial complex with all its greed and horrors, would continue this slide downward.
"The rule of radical market ideology that began with Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan has ended in a loud bang. The world is holding its breath, but also breathing a sigh of relief. The new time that is dawning now must become our time -- the time of social democracy." -German Vice Chancellor Frank-Walter Steinmeier
Historical misconceptions impact this election
As I have given speeches around the United States through the years, as I have written in periodicals, as I have been interviewed in the media nationwide, and during my talk radio program, it has become clear to me that many Americans have no idea about our own history. We unfortunately think that only coloring things to make the U.S. look like "that shining city on a hill" is appropriate, and anything that is honestly and subjectively critical of this country is a sign of an unpatriotic scoundrel. We have suffered greatly from this lack of honesty about our nation. Indeed, we almost fell prey to an attempt to overthrow our popularly elected president, FDR, and establish a fascist-like government in the U.S.
A recent critic of mine pointed to his father's service in World War II to indicate he saved us from communism or worse: liberalism. But World War II was fought against fascism and Nazism, two types of government that are right-wing in their perspective and political philosophy. In fact, Henry Ford and other American industrialists actually financed the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany. The Ford Motor Co. and the Chase Manhattan Bank, for example, stayed open in Hitler's German territory long after Germany was killing American troops. American bankers, as well as other European bankers, met with German and Mussolini's Italian bankers in Switzerland all through World War II. These bankers decided to support the German military regime at first, and then met to decide how to divide up the spoils and protect German industrialists after the War. But defeating Hitler did not end the threat of fascism, even in the U.S.

Complimentary With Purchase
Like I've said before, I love the Lush store which is located in Macy's at Mayfair Mall. Today I purchased some soaps and lotions for Christmas gifts and was treated to a complimentary chair massage. What's not to love about that? The massage therapist, who is also named Kimberly, works for Healing Hands Therapy Center, LLC, located in Wauwatosa. She found knots in my back and neck that I didn't even know were there; it was wonderful! Stop in at Lush next week Saturday, I believe that Healing Hands will be there again.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
Our Local Boards
We, the people, dutifully vote every year to elect citizens like ourselves to legislate and set policy in an orderly and lawful fashion for the betterment of our community. Anyone is free to run for the job - it is not a closed club of good ol' guys.
These board members spend hours and days in meetings and planning sessions working for us all. To do this they give up their personal time for a very limited amount of pay. This is time taken from being with their families, spouses, friends and recreation.
It was his birthday and we celebrated it
My husband's birthday is over, I think he managed pretty well, especially taking into account the big-0 at the end of his age now. I love my birthday, and while I might have to stop and think about how old I am, because quite honestly, I still feel like a 25 year old trying to figure out how life as an adult works, I have no problem with my age. Nor getting older. On the other hand, my husband is my polar opposite. He gets edgy around his birthday every year. In fact, about a month ago he declared that his birthday was NOT happening this year. No saying Happy Birthday either.
Cake and presents were still welcome.
Dear Whoever Stole My Newspaper
What nerve. I mean, seriously, to take a newspaper is extremely juvenile.
What they probably didn't know is that my husband gets up for work very early in the morning. He saw the paper in the box, and like a good husband, he left it for me. He works for the Journal so it's not like he won't have an opportunity to get another copy. By the time I was ready to leave for work, the newspaper was gone, and I'm sure they thought I'd blame the carrier -- which I did at first. Sorry Newspaper Carrier!

It's That Time of Year....
As you are reading this, we the staff and volunteers at Channel 14 hope that your Holiday Season is everything you hoped for. Each year it manages to slip away so quickly, and I myself can remember once in the last 10 years where I was able to sit back and just look at the lights on our Christmas Tree. Well this year it is going to be different. Organization is the key. Sure their is a lot to get done and and a busy schedule to attend to, but it is certainly manageable. Efficiency is the key. Somethings will just have to go to the bottom of the list if not off the list completely. Prioritizing is the key. Already I have to many keys.
Just a second to catch up on recent activity at the studio. The Christmas Parade was a memorable one. Thank you to all the groups and organizations who braved the blizzard conditions to walk the parade route. Out Channel 14 mobile trailer was parked at Pop's Custard on Appleton to cover the action. The crew of 3 had to put up a tent to cover the cameras as the snow was just too wet and would have rendered them useless. I just heard that MenoHarmonee playback music slowed down at the end of the parade due to moisture. With the snow and wind blowing in our faces, we decided to run the cameras by remote control from inside the trailer. A lot more cabling but, toasty and dry inside. It was not our best work, but it keeps our streak of 20 years of covering the Christmas Parade intact. If you haven't noticed, we have been running the 2007 Parade in addition to the White-out version of this year.
Holiday Pig Out
Today is the Holiday Pig Out at work, where everyone brings in loads of food and then we spend all day eating it. I never do good at these kinds of events, mostly because of the chips. I LOVE CHIPS!!! But, I'm very particular about my chips. I prefer Lays, the plain kind, I won't eat any of the snazzy flavored chips. Since I've already thwarted my Weight Watcher efforts this week with the Mint Meltaways that arrived on Monday from my very most favorite vendor — because every year they send the Mint Meltaways – I'm not looking forward to today. HOWEVER, by some stroke of luck I was the second person to sign up for something to bring on the sign up sheet, and I choose chips. One big bag of snazzy flavored sour cream and onion potato chips.
Snow Day
Good morning Menomonee Falls!
It's a snow day, and you'd think I would have slept in, but instead I was outside at 7 a.m. to clear my driveway. Thankfully, I have a snowblower. Or are they called snow throwers now? When did that happen? Anyhow, my driveway. What a chore that was. The bottom was about three feet deep, and I had to be creative to get it all out of the way -- only so the snowplow can push it all back the next time it goes by. It really is the only complaint I have about where I live.
Doveryai, no Proveryai...Trust, but Verify Village Board Garbage Agreement
Doveryai, no Proveryai...Trust but Verify Village Board Garbage Agreement
President Ronald Reagan, in his infinite wisdom and undying commitment to protect America from attack and evil, used the Russian proverb, "Doveryai, no Proveryai", which means, "...trust, but verify", when it came to negotiating agreements with the Soviet Union. Reagan's foreign diplomacy philosophy was very simple when it came to protecting America from the Soviet Union, "We win, they lose."
Christmas Gifts Remembered
When buying gifts this year I reflected upon the gifts that made the greatest impact on me as a child and as an adult. There was a strong connection between the best gifts and my favorite Christmas memories.
- As a child, my sister and I woke up at 5am to discover that our father had returned home Christmas Eve after being in the hospital from a near fatal accident the week before. We were fast asleep when my grandparents brought him home. Apparently he was released at 10pm by a sympathetic nursing staff. We were the first house in our neighborhood to have our lights on. I don't remember what present I received that year other than an appreciation of being a family.
- On Christmas 1994 when it appeared that we had to look at alternatives to have a child we got the news that our prayers were answered and our next Christmas would be with our own baby-God willing.
- On Christmas 2006 we were in China holding our miraculous baby girl. After years of paperwork, waiting, starts and stops, we were sitting in the hallway of our hotel with 12 other couples celebrating the same event.
- In the spring of this year, after a year of other health problems, my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia and things did not look promising for her survival. Fortunately with more lab work and a very dedicated doctor the prognosis was changed to a rare, but not dangerous, blood disease. We will have mom for another Christmas this year.
Hot Air
Senator Strom Thurmond is in the record books for giving the longest recorded speech in history, clocking in at 24 hours and 18 minutes. The speech was a filibuster in opposition to the 1957 Civil Rights Act (which passed, despite his efforts).
I'm sure that one of our local malcontents would be happy to try and break that record if only the Village Board would give that chance.
Predictions 2008 How Did I Do?
Below are my predictions published in December 2007 and the results. http://blogs.waukeshanow.com/blogage/archive/2007/12/31/predictions-2008.aspx
Note: I need to stop adding predictions in my predictions.
- Milwaukee will loose SAB Miller/Coors as the corporate HQ to Golden Colorado. There are too many reasons to state here/now but I will have a whole entry on this in about a week. Hint: Taxes are a factor.
Another blogger on Menomonee Falls Now made predictions of things to come about a year ago. This week he truthfully posted the results of his predictions. They were mixed - some right, some wrong.
On the other hand, I cannot even envision what will happen in the next week let alone what will happen in the next year.
Starry Night
Today I painted using my new paints that I got for Christmas. I wasn't feeling too creative, so I copied Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. I think it would have turned out better with oil paints, rather than acrylic, but I'm still pleased with it. I put away all of my paints and cleaned the brushes before I realized that I forgot a star. Maybe I'll add it later.
Predictions 2009
Predictions 2008 was my first year for making predictions on blogage. If you want to know how I did, click here: http://blogs.menomoneefallsnow.com/blogage/archive/2008/12/26/predictions-2008-how-did-i-do.aspx
I made the mistake of embedding other predictions into my main predictions taking my accuracy way down. My first prediction of 2009: I will not make that mistake twice.
- The next shoe to drop in the financial crisis will be the day of reckoning for the credit card companies. This will peak in 2009. We should begin seeing hysterical headlines about May of this year. Side note: The impact of credit derivatives on the collateralized debt obligation will totally wipe out all of the equity the investors put in. This includes SE Wisconsin school districts (not Meno. Falls or Sussex Hamilton).
- The dollar will fall below its lowest value in 10 years. It fetched a record-low US$1.3912 against the euro in 2008.
- Ethanol will pretty much be discredited, by those who have the mental ability to make change from a nickel, as a viable alternative natural fuel in 2009. If there is a low yield corn crop it will expedite the awakening from this fad binge.
- In spite of all the deaths caused by seven to eleven time convicted drunken drivers, the state legislature will still ponder what we can do to stop the carnage. Maybe they will consider lowering the legal limit. Maybe they will consider raising the drinking age to 25. Maybe they will sue alcohol companies for millions, so we can run more MADD advertising (or spend the money on budget shortfalls when we overspend). It will never occur to them to lock up 5th time offenders where they can never get behind a vehicle and kill your children. My prediction: They will do nothing to ensure mandatory prison for +3 time offenders.
- The smarter municipalities will be far more reasonable when dealing with developers in their communities. The smarter communities will realize there are far more limited development dollars and will be more accommodating instead of changing deals at the last minute or asking for more gingerbread and greenery at the 11th hour of a deal. TIFs will grow in usage. Alternatively, developers will more readily walk to the next community when faced with unreasonable demands.
- Israel will attack Iran in an attempt to destroy the nuclear program there. Other Arab countries will huff and puff, do nothing, and secretly sigh relief that someone finally did something to stop Iran. In my opinion, Iran has sponsored the Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel to divert Israeli military resources away from them. Israel will be an incapable of fighting a two front war.
- A power play, to take over MPS, will be attempted in 2009. It may be the state or it may be Milwaukee, but someone will try, and fail, on their first attempt.
- Beyonce Knowles will be the number one revenue-generating music artist in 2009.
- Gold will break $965.00 per ounce in 2009.
- Brett Favre will retire after the 2008 season and un-retire in 2009. I'm not kidding.
- Thinking that America is on the brink of financial ruin, Al-Qaeda will hasten an attack on the U.S. to send panic into financial markets. That attempt will be unsuccessful.
- The $50 billion Bernie Madoff ponzi scam will get the average and high end investor to reconsider their investment strategy. The desire to put full faith and confidence in stocks will wane and drive demand for real estate, specifically commercial real estate and raw land. Demand will grow in 2009 for a revenue-producing asset that won't vaporize to absolute zero, like Bernie's fund or GM stock.
- The religion of global warming will be scientifically discredited in 2009. However, "global warmbies" will claim that the scientific data actually proves their theory. In other words they will use highly developed logic based on jujitsu: I know you are but what am I? It is my fervent hope that people in this country awaken to the dangers of the environmental movement. The "environmental" movement that tried to stop a solar energy plant in the Mojave Desert because of an endangered snake. It is a movement of dangerous hypocrites.
- The New England Patriots will pull themselves up from the ashes and win the Super Bowl in 2010.
- The threat of the looming sick pay mandate in Milwaukee County will be a growth benefit to surrounding counties.

GOP Candidate Superheroes: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul As Comic Book Characters (PHOTOS)
The Huffington Post Alex Suskind First Posted: 03/ 6/2012 2:04 pm Updated: 03/ 6/2012 2:04 pm
Super Tuesday is upon us. Tonight, America gets a few steps closer to finding out who the GOP presidential nominee will be in November. That said, if you're looking to inject a little fun into the boring political hubbub, Moviefone is here to help.
Introducing the current crop of GOP candidates -- Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich -- as comic book characters (featuring appearances from Iron Man, the Hulk and the Green Goblin). And to make sure this piece takes a non-partisan, unbiased stance (this is a movie site, after all), the list includes both superheroes and supervillains for each presidential hopeful.

According to those records, the plaintiff, Jason Horton, and the defendants, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, its JSU chapter and fraternity officials, have agreed to mediation.
Michael Petway, Horton's attorney, said the agreement gives all parties involved 30 days from Friday to agree on a mediator and 30 days after that to set up the mediation.
According to his complaint, Horton alleges that fraternity pledges in 2011 were made to drink mustard and vodka, struck with eggs and flying objects, and beaten repeatedly with fists and paddles. The next morning, according to the court document, Horton vomited all day and was discouraged by fraternity members from seeking medical treatment. Horton remained in a hospital for 24 days while recovering from his injuries.
JSU has since closed the university's chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha.
Douglas Fierberg, a Washington, D.C. attorney who specializes in cases of hazing, said by phone Friday that by mediating, both parties agree to "see if they can reach a settlement."
There would be no "mini-trial" as there would be in arbitration, Fierberg said, though according to the agreement, if a settlement cannot be reached through mediation by the end of August, the case will be handled in arbitration.
Fierberg said for a plaintiff, mediation can be an "opportunity to reduce the expenses and get some closure on the matter and move forward."
An attorney for the defendants filed a motion Sept. 14, 2012, asking the court to dismiss Horton's case and refer it to arbitration.
The motion states that "Horton's official application for membership and Membership Intake Process Memorandum of Understanding also contained a provision requiring binding arbitration of any potential disputes between Horton and the fraternity"
It goes on to state that "Horton is bound by his unambiguous agreement to arbitrate his claims against the fraternity, the chapter, Dye and Johnson."
The motion states that by signing the arbitration agreement, Horton has to abide by "The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association," which state that parties can "At any stage of the proceedings...agree to conduct a mediation."
On May 17, Circuit Court Judge Debra Jones ruled in favor of the defendants' motion that the matter be handled outside of a trial, thereby placing the matter in mediation, an initial step in the arbitration process.
In a criminal case stemming from that same hazing incident, a hearing has been set to consider consolidating the cases against each of the 18 defendants into one case. A hearing is set for June 4 to consider that option.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Weems filed a motion May 1 to consolidate those cases. Reached by phone Friday, Weems declined to comment on the case.
In her motion, Weems cited a portion of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure, which states that multiple cases can be consolidated if the alleged offenses are "of the same or similar character," "occurred simultaneously," or are "alleged to have been part to a common scheme or plan."
By trying the cases together, Weems' motion states, "the expenses of and time consumed in the trial will be materially reduced."
Attorney Victor Spencer represents several of the defendants in the hazing incident. Spencer said he has been in discussion with Weems about reaching a deal in the case, but declined to comment further.
"We are talking, but I'd rather not comment on it any further until such period has passed," Spencer said.
"Plea deals occur very often," Fierberg said, speaking of hazing cases. "But rarely as an across-the-board situation. In many circumstances, the specific individual's involvement differs."
Across-the-board plea deals might be more likely in instances when there are numerous defendants, as in this case, Fierberg said.
"Distinguishing between who exactly did what, versus it was all group perpetrated, may make a larger plea deal more likely," he said.
Four men pleaded guilty May 21 to one count each of hazing, a misdemeanor, on charges stemming from the hazing incident.
Justavious Quintae Johnson, 22, of Jacksonville; Juston Thomas, 23, of Birmingham; Mikel Whitter, 23, of St. Louis; and Varian May, 28, of Oxford, each pleaded guilty.
Weems' motion also lists those four men as part of the case consolidation.
Others charged in the case, who each face one count of first-degree assault and two counts of hazing, include:
— Jeremiah Antwon Bradford, 24, of Harpersville
— Brandon Marquell Bush, 23, of Phenix City
— Fidel M. Corfah, 23, of Lawrenceville, Ga.
— Daniel Dwayne Covington, 23, of Fairfield
— Juston Patrick Daniel, 23, of Jacksonville
— Antonio Davis, 28, of Montgomery
— Quintin Deandrae Day, 27, of Anniston
— Adeoye Faleti, 23, of Jacksonville
— Jacolby Quantel Parks, 24, of Atlanta
— Benjamin Puckett, 23, of Jacksonville
— Carl Robinson, 22, of Jacksonville
— Rhyan Anthony Swanson, 24, of Jacksonville
Each charged with one count of hazing:
— Roosevelt Morgan Jr., 21, of Leeds
— Jeremy Deshaun Potts, 21, of Tallasse

Quality 4x4, Axle Seals, & More!
Burb is the Answer
Q I'm 12 and trying to convince my parents to get me a four-wheel-drive truck. I know it would be a good way for me and my dad to spend time together and learn different things about the 4x4 world. We already have a '71 Chevelle and an '87 T/A, and we could use it as a tow rig. What would be a good two- or four-wheel-drive, pre-'89 truck that is good for wheeling, won't break the bank, and would be a good project?
Damien G.
via 4wheeloffroad.com
A What you need is a late '80s/early '90s Chevy Suburban. Just make sure it is a 3/4-ton. This has the bigger rear axles, and it would be both a great tow rig and a good trail rig. It isn't exactly small, but the whole family could go to the local mud hole and tow the Chevelle to the drag strip. Plus you could pull a boat, camp out in it, and still have enough interior space to haul parts, groceries, and all your girlfriends.
The other great thing is that the Chevy trucks are very abundant and parts are available at nearly every auto parts store for a Chevy truck. LMC Truck (800.LMC.TRUC, www.lmctruck.com) has lots of replacement body panels and all the interior bits and pieces if the Suburban you find is missing some small parts or has rust. Plus the Suburban nameplate has been in use for 75 years, making it the oldest model in continuous production. I think it would be a great father-son project, a useful 4x4, and a great truck for you to get into four-wheeling with.
Front 14
Q I have a GM 14-bolt rear that I want to make a frontend, but I can't find an axletube thick enough for the Dana 60 axle seals. The 14-bolt is shaved and has a 31/2-inch OD axletube. Any help or info on axletubes would be very helpful. I have been looking at DOM tubing. It is going into an F-150 with a 14-bolt in the rear already, 460 ci, NP435, and a married NP205 running 4.88 gears.
Bobby R.
Whitesburg, GA
A Seals-it (www.sealsit.com) makes various custom axle seals, otherwise you need to get some new tubing and have it machined for the seal and then pressed into the housing. You will also need 30-spline, 11/2-inch-diameter custom front axleshafts, but many custom axle places can make them for you.
Wrong Way 'Round
Q Why can't I just flip over my front axle to put the pumpkin on the other side? Is it just that the ring-and-pinion gears would be pointing the wrong way? Since I plan on putting in lockers and switching to a lower gear ratio anyway, it seems like as long as I get the right gears for the high-pinion application, I should be able to put the Dana 44 from my Power Wagon under my Wrangler.
Joel S.
Bellingham, WA
A It would turn the wrong way, and the high-pinion gears will only fit in a high-pinion housing. A high-pinion housing is not the same as a low-pinion housing flipped upside-down.
The front driveshaft and pinion always turn counterclockwise (unless the transmission is in reverse).
The front pinion is always on the left side of the ring gear, no matter whether it's high or low pinion, driver or passenger side.
If you flip the housing, the pinion will be on the right side of the ring gear. If you then turn the driveshaft counterclockwise the ring gear (along with the axleshafts and tires) will all turn backward. If your rear axle is turning forward and your front axle is turning backward, your Jeep won't go anywhere.
The only time to flip an axle over is when you have three-gear portal axles or the engine in the back of the vehicle, such as in many rock buggies, because it will then turn everything the opposite direction. However, by doing this you can run into issues with lack of oil getting to the pinion gear and bearings.
